Must-Visit Villas at Lake Como: Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero

Visiting Lake Como is not complete without touring these two villas: Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero. Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi are must-see attractions when visiting Varenna at Lake Como, Italy. The beauty of their architecture left me in awe, and the breathtaking scenery made me feel like I was in another world. Their botanical gardens facing Lake Como made me feel like I had stepped into a stunning landscape painting. The picturesque views were so beautiful they seemed unreal. At Villa Cipressi, you must visit the Gates of Heaven. The name speaks for itself - the wrought iron gate opening towards the shimmering sky and lake is one of the most enchanting sights I have ever seen. At Villa Monastero, you can immerse yourself in the dreamy Renaissance-style architecture; of course, you must visit their botanical garden, which features many unique plants. As for ticket prices, you can purchase a combo ticket for 19 euros to visit both villas, or a single villa ticket for 10 euros.
